I have long shouted about this album, as you say it really needs to be heard in headphones to get full enjoyment.

Also love TSLFT - especially the opening track The Red Blood Connection

interesting and rather poignant that the re-release of TLFT is dedicated to Monique (the seven letters?) "As a deeply felt farewell soundtrack for the passing of Monika Froese"

I didn't know that.

The Seven Letters From Tibet is a beautiful album - one of my top favourite TD albums of the last 25 years. I played it quite often at one point but not much lately. The music reminded me of the track "Lhasa" on the TDI CD : "Quinoa"... There was a subtitle to this track making me think it was only one track in a series in a similar style, without percussion nor sequence, more meditative. I had longed to hear the remaining songs from this series... I missed that kind of meditative, heartfelt moments often in the music of TD in the 90's.

Reminds me a bit of whale music.

you mean those cheap albums found at service stations or a garden centrre ? Nah that is a huge insult to an album such as 7 letters

i love those mournful seal-like sounds in The Orange Breathe. i'm not sure what instrument that is, perhaps a flute

superb track, very cinematic and dark round the edges.

The first letter is phenomenal. The next four letters are exquisite

is there a reason behind the album's name?

In musical notation there are seven letters, A to G.

Also maybe some sort of analogy with the colour names in the titles?

I always assumed it was to do with the colours of the rainbow.

I like tracks 2, 3 and 4 on this album. The remaining 4 tracks are totally uninteresting for me, I have to admit. Typical meandering Edgar Froese stuff. That 14 minute track for instance, yaaawn.

But I'm glad other people fully manages to enjoy this disc.
